"Frying" does not necessarily mean "Deep Frying".
Olive oil is absolutely fine when stir frying at medium/low temperatures, it is the basis of Mediterranean cuisine (Spanish, Greek, Italian...) that is not exactly known for its rancid taste.
In the case of "Deep" frying, then you are absolutely right, and I would say that in this case seed (Sunflower, Peanut) oil is used for this purpose even in heavy Olive Oil consumer countries.
- Oletros 11y agoYap, usually sunflower oil here in Spain
- Johnny_Brahms 11y agoNever rapeseed though. Wasn't there a huge scandal (with lots of deaths) in the eighties about rapeseed oil, that turned out to be something else?
- Oletros 11y agoYes, in 1981. 1100 deaths because of ingestion of rapeseed oil not suitable for human consumption.
